Are you happy with your company’s women leadership programs? I have just switched jobs, and the new place has nothing in place internally although markets it as something they could help their clients with, which to me seems hypocritical. Also, on the c-suite team there are 5 older males and one female, all white. This is a global organization. I guess I’m super disappointed and have not realized how important it is to me until I joined a place that doesn’t care about it. What would you do?

I am happy with my firms women’s leadership initiative. But, I am biased because I am one of the leaders of the initiative. We do events all year - networking, mentoring, professional development, book club. We also send women to women advancement conferences and help complete nominations for our women leaders for awards in the community. A commitment to women’s advancement and DEI is very important to me. My firm has many women in leadership roles. I previously worked for organizations that do not value these things, and that was very tough for me.

Seeing some men get more leadership face time and more options to participate in meaningful activities with sr leadership. It’s a sure way to prepare them for more sr roles. I also heard that some leaders view me as a great No. 2 (operational partner) have you had this happen? How did you change that perception. I’ve started asking for this it now. Let’s see how it goes.

Hi!! Is anyone attending the Catalyst conference in New York on the 14th?

I felt so confident in applying. The recruiter called a week later and said the hiring manager was extremely impressed with my resume. The first “interview” (informal meet and greet) went great and I was told I’m definitely moving on to the formal panel interview. I reached out to the recruiter with a happy “just following up” email on Friday afternoon and she said the coordinator should be in touch by Monday at the latest. No email came. Talk me off ledge. Confidence plummeting.

I’m looking for advice. I’m with a company that will be going through an exit soon-ish. It’ll be big. I have a fair amount of equity and I’m fully vested. But I’m so burned out from the pace and the stress of getting us across this finish line. Has anyone left a job before getting through the transaction? I know there could be a bonus at the time of the transaction or benefits of staying after the transaction, but I am not doing my best work and I want to be motivated and inspired again. Cont’d:
